Scales open for final day of White Marlin Open

Friday marks the final day of the 43rd annual White Marlin Open, with the contenders for the white and blue marlin divisions remain at the top.

A 76.5 pound white marlin is still the heaviest catch for its division. A 790 pound blue marlin is holding onto its current first place spot for the fifth day in a row.

There’s been very little change on the leader board between Thursday and Friday.

As of 4:45 p.m. Friday, the heaviest catches for the tuna, dolphin, wahoo and shark divisions have remained the same; however, a possible third place finish in the dolphin division was recorded Thursday coming in at 35.5 pounds.

Awards are set for Saturday in Ocean City, Maryland.
